It’s Not Over! Pebbles Files New Lawsuit Over VH1’s TLC Biopic

Sonya Eskridge is a writer from Maryland, who started her news career in radio at the age of 17. After graduating from Virginia Tech, she went on to write for a national publication where she was able to mold her personal voice. Always looking for ways to inform on important issues—or share her love of nerdy and girly things—Sonya thoroughly enjoys writing about a wide range of subjects.

It’s been a year since VH1 aired “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story,” and Perri “Pebbles” Reid is still mad about how the network made her look.

Filing a $40 million lawsuit against Viacom was simply not enough for Pebbles. TMZ.com reports that she claims the film has ruined her life in a new lawsuit (That’s right. Another one!), where she states that she was grossly misrepresented.

According to court documents, Pebbles believes that “CrazySexyCool” discredited her character by depicting her as a dishonest, cut-throat businesswoman that would stop at nothing to squeeze every last dime she could out of TLC. The group’s ex-manager argues that contrary to her portrayal in the movie as a cheat, she poured her time and money into the mission of making TLC one of the best-selling girl groups ever.

Furthermore, Pebbles claims that scenes where she pressured Chilli to get an abortion and forced T-Boz to disregard her health to keep working were complete fabrications. Pebbles also states that it was false that she only paid the girls $25 a week under her.

The spurned manager is suing for $40 million because she believes that her rep has been destroyed.
